In short: Fun and hilly – my first 10k!In full: As the title says, this was my first 10k. I knew the course would be hilly and challenging and indeed it was. The excitement of the race sped up my pace quite a lot and I had to concentrate on the fast, downhill, narrow & muddy bits (that's all at once by the way). Gorgeous scenery and a fun atmosphere, even in the rain.Date of review: September 25, 2012

In short: A brilliant raceIn full: This is one of my favourites. A great course, mainly off road with lots of variation of surface, incline and view. Very well organised indeed - starts on time, plenty of marshalls and all very friendly. And it all starts and finishes in the very picturesque Shardeloes cricket club.

All the races that Chiltern Harriers put on are excellent but this is the best in my view.Date of review: September 24, 2012
